總統(tǒng)也煩惱 歷屆美國總統(tǒng)丑聞大盤點(雙語)

Bill Clinton 比爾·克林頓(美國第42屆總統(tǒng)：1993-2001)

10 . Monica Lewinsky Affair

萊溫斯基丑聞

Bill Clinton was implicated in a couple of scandals, the most significant for his presidency was the Monica Lewinsky affair. Lewinsky was a White House staffer with whom Clinton had an intimate relationship, or as he laterput it, an "improper physical relationship." He had previously denied this while giving a deposition in another case which resulted in a vote to impeach him by the House of Representatives in 1998. TheSenate did not vote to remove him from office but the event did mar his presidency as he joined Andrew Johnson as only the second president to be impeached。

克林頓曾被卷入過幾件丑聞中，而其中最有名的莫過于他和莫妮卡·萊溫斯基的性丑聞。作為白宮的員工，萊溫斯基曾和克林頓有過一段親密關系，或者按照克林頓后來的陳述：“不正當肉體關系”。剛開始，克林頓曾宣誓否認這件事。但1998年，眾議院卻因此事投票彈劾克林頓。盡管參議院最終沒有同意眾議院的彈劾，但這件丑聞卻成為克林頓任期內的一大污點。克林頓是既安德魯·約翰遜之后第二個被彈劾的總統(tǒng)。
